a) Derive the equation for steady state heat conduction through

cylinder of uniform conductivity without heat generation.

b) Calculate the rate of heat flow per m 2 through a furnace wall

consisting of 200 mm thick inner layer of chrome brick, a centre
layer of Kaoline brick 100 mm thick and an outer layer of masonry
brick 100 mm thick. The unit surface conductance at the inner
surface is 74 w/m 2 C and the outer surface temperature is 70C.
The temperature of the gases inside the furnace is 1670C what
temperature prevail at the inner and outer surfaces of the centre

layer ? Take, K chrome brick 1.25 w / mC, Kkaolin brick 0.074 w / mC

Kmansory brick 0.555 w / mC Assume steady heat flow.

c)

diameter is 20 mm is to be insulated with asbestos which has mean

thermal conductivity of 0.1w / mC . The convective heat transfer

coefficient is 5 w / m20C comment upon the suitability of asbestos as
the insulating material. What should be the maximum value of
thermal conductivity of insulating material.

The meat rolls of 25 mm diameter having K 1 w / mC are heated up

with the help of microwave heating for roasting. The centre

pocket of iron [K=52.3 W/mC] of inside diameter 15 mm & 1 mm
thick is used to measure the temperature. The error to be tolerated
is 1.5% of maximum. Estimate the length of the pocket necessary to
measure the temperature within this error. The diameter of steel
